Within a radius of three or four
miles of Americas the corn crop is suf-
fering severely from the drOuth, espec-
tally the early planting. Some pieces
are now dry enough to put into the
shock, while pieces further off have
had more rain than this immediate vi-
cinity, and the prospects are CORE

the prospects, besides some observation
of our own, and find this about the
situation. BURLOw.
